The Safety Person of the Year Award recognizes an employee of an ASLRRA Class II or Class III member railroad who works with management on effective safety programs, exhibits a high degree of safety awareness and contributes off-duty time to activities promoting safety awareness in the community.
A safety person candidate would be any railroad employee at any level, except those considered to be professional safety management employees, whose actions consistently show a dedication to safe performance on the railroad. In other words, a safety person is someone who has multiple jobs or responsibilities, with safety being part of what they do.
